The Legendary Cloak: Why is the Cloak Good?

Upgrading the cloak will be important because:

You get Corruption Resistance, allowing you to wear more and more Corruption gear.

The Item Level of the Cloak increases every rank increase.

You get an On Use to remove all Corruption Effects for 6 sec at Rank 6

The Legendary Cloak: Rank 6 Special Effect

At Rank 6, the Legendary Cloak gains Résolution inébranlable, a 3 minute On Use ability that will instantly dispel any effects from Corruption and make you immune to further effects for 6 seconds.

Use: Dispel any effects of N'zoth's Corruption, and become immune to any further Corruption effects for 6 sec. (3 Min Cooldown)

This is a very interesting change as it allows players to somewhat control the randomness of the Corruption effects. If you get a bad puddle or add spawn, or need to prevent Corruption at a critical point in an encounter, you can Use your Cloak to ensure your safety. Using the Cloak will instantly remove and prevent the following for 6 seconds.

Equip: Your spells and abilities have a chance to increase your Main Stat by 3,500 for 15 sec.

The Legendary Cloak: Transmog

The cloak itself also gets an appearance upgrade at Rank 5 and Rank 12!

The Legendary Cloak: Upgrading Your Cloak

Upgrading your Legendary cloak is the main gameplay loop of Patch 8.3. You'll need to collect Visions coalescentes from Assaults, to enter Horrific Visions and complete specific objectives within the Horrific Visions. The higher the rank of your cloak, the further you'll need to delve into Horrific Visions in order to receive another upgrade.

There are a bunch of different methods for obtaining Coalescing Visions and we've covered them detail in our Coalescing Visions Guide.

Step 2: Objectives in Horrific Visions

Now that you've obtained your 3 Réceptacle de visions horrifiques, you need to use them to complete the correct Horrific Vision zones. Wrathion will have a quest for you, which requires either a book or a set of pages. Depending on what he wants, you'll need to venture into certain Horrific Vision areas to complete the quests.

There are three tiers of area in Horrific Visions:

Tier 1: Tainted areas

Tier 2: Corrupted areas

Tier 3: Lost areas

Rank 1 - 5

At the start, Wrathion's quests will have to collect parts from the Tier 1 Tainted areas. This is the area that you spawn in, so in order to get your Legendary Cloak upgrade for the run, all you need to do is head into the main building and defeat the boss.

There's a catch. If you kill the boss in the Tier 1 Tainted area, it instantly ends the Horrific Vision. However, if you try to explore more and fail, not ending the Vision by killing the boss, you will not receive your Cloak upgrade, and wasting the run entirely.

Turning in the correct material will earn you a Noyau corrupteur, allowing you to upgrade your Cloak to the next Rank.

Now that you've hit Rank 5, in order to reach Rank 6, you now need to collect parts from the Tier 2 Corrupted or Tier 3 Lost areas. You do not need to kill Thrall or Alleria, so the punishment for failure is lessened and you can explore more.

The Legendary Cloak: Rank 15+

Once you're at Rank 15, you can do a Horrific Vision full clear or defeat N'Zoth on normal difficulty of higher to receive a Noyau maléfique. This will be upgrade your Cloak's Corruption Resistance by 3.

The Corruption Resistance is Weekly capped. If you're behind the cap, you can complete both these sources to earn an additional Noyau maléfique every week.

Blizzard

We’re now a couple of weeks from some players reaching Rank 15 on their legendary cloaks, and we’d like to clarify how you’ll further improve your cloak in the weeks after hitting Rank 15.

At Rank 15, players who wish to make use of more and greater Corrupted items will want to imbue themselves with greater Corruption Resistance. This is done at Rank 15 with a Malefic Core, which can be consumed and applied to the cloak, increasing the cloak’s max Corruption Resistance by 3. There are two ways to acquire a Malefic Core:

Players who are at the limit of the cloak’s progression can receive one Malefic Core from the first of these two activities completed each week, and can continue to upgrade their cloak with a Malefic Core once per week for the remainder of Visions of N’Zoth. However, if your cloak isn’t caught up to the current cap, you can acquire and use up to two Malefic Cores per week by doing both of the activities above.

Beginning with weekly maintenance in each region the week of March 24, players who previously reached Rank 15 will start receiving a Malefic Core from the two feats listed above.

not being able to use gliders on the cloak is one of, if not the dumbest decision ever made regarding Legendaries.

Commentaire de evein

What is the timeline for all of this? Is it actually gated? Or, is it just gated by the amount of Coalescing Visions you can farm? Getting enough for the 3 weekly Vessel of Horrific Vision is easy enough, but could you theoretically farm enough to go into the visions and have a fully upgraded cloak in the first week?

Is there a point that the hardcore raiders are shooting for? Have it at level 6 by raid open? level 12 by mythic? Is there a level us plebs should be looking to have before raid opens?

Commentaire de baldie80

Hmm. I guess a lot will depend on how tough these Horrific Vision's are, but it sounds like a weird version of the Mage Tower from Legion with progressive rewards. Not sure how I feel about it. It's literally a grind within a grind (Grind Coalescing Visions, to grind attempts at upgrading your cloak) with at least a moderate chance of failing to get the upgrade altogether. It also reminds me of the Lei Shen Treasure runs in MoP, except whereas those were for fun and gold, these are inextricably tied to character progression.

Speaking as someone who mostly plays Retail now just to make gold, I was already burned out on progression grinds. I haven't set foot inside a BfA dungeon or raid zone in months and instead I invested time into 3 alts which will now have to basically get benched as I spend all my time on my main farming for Cloak upgrades. Just not sure I have the energy to be that frenetic. Either way I'm sure I will give it a shot, but I ended up skipping most of 5.3 in MoP when there was a similar kind of Cloak grind. We will have to see how it turns out, but as of right now it's starting to feel more like a Diablo 3 style of repetitive grind with scaling difficulty. Horrific Visions just sound like another name for Nephalim Rifts with a different combat system. That's not what should be at the heart of WoW IMO.

Commentaire de Credanas

Yay, more grinding...

Commentaire de equyne

Ok am I the only one who said, "What the hell? We already had a Legendary Cloak" and it was taken from us just as the ring we built and the weapons of the last expansion. Anyone getting sick and tired of working their rear off to build this great thing only to have it ripped from us and replaced with some greens with the next expansion? Come on Bliz, at least you could have had us go and recover our old cloak and move forward with it since that would make more sense!

Commentaire de zeusnow

Does anyone know if the Sanity loss reduction on the cloak affect the sanity attacks the mobs do or does it only reduce the passive sanity loss in each zone that ticks every second?

Commentaire de Koisryn

So I got screwed by an amazing bug which sadly depleted 3x a horrific vision for me. Can someone tell me how bad this is and how long I need extra to catch up?

Commentaire de evangellion79

Did they not think through or did they prevent engineers to use Planeur gobelin with the cloak?

Commentaire de catfishmike

Is this correct that it changes appearance at rank 5, or is that a typo and it changes at rank 6? It would make more sense for it to change at 6 since that's when the ability unlocks and I'm at rank 5 with no change.

Commentaire de Jaredius

We didn't need another mandatory grind in order to keep up. And yes, it is mandatory to keep up meaning you cannot take a few days off without falling behind. See you all next expac.

Commentaire de Mightyboof

You know they could have the on use ability change to a new action button like you get when you do world quests. It would allow us engineers to tinker the glider again. Or they could just give us a new schematic with updated mat requirements for the goblin gliders.

Commentaire de nikaetd14

So whats the strategy to hit rank 6 in the first week? Most people are getting to rank 4 or 5

Commentaire de Clarimonte

Question(s):If from ranks 7-11 you need those torn pages from "Fear and Flesh"...Do you get 1 page from each bonus boss you kill in the corrupted and lost areas? So if I killed a Lost boss, and a corrupted boss I'd get 2 pages? Or if I killed both corrupted bosses would I get 2 pages? Or if I killed both Lost bosses would I get 2 pages? And then if that's the case... doesn't it mean I could get a maximum of 4 pages each run if I clear all 4 of the bonus bosses from both the corrupted and lost areas?And if that's the case... doesn't that mean I could get rank 9 with a minimum of 1 run (since you need 4 pages) if I manage to do a full clear? (your chart says you need 2 runs minimum)And if that's the case.... doesn't that mean I could get rank 11 with a minimum of 2 runs (since you need 8 pages) if I manage to do 2 full clears? (your chart says you need 3 runs minimum)

My overall question is what objectives drop the pages and how many pages are dropped per objective's chest?

I've been looking for clear answers but nothing is saying "if you want rank 7, you need to clear these objectives...." (like do I need to clear 1 corrupted area and the main boss (Ex: Thrall)? Or do I need to clear 2 corrupted areas and ignore the boss because it will only give me momentos?

Help to clarify please!

P.S. What do I need to clear so I can get that book for rank 6... I'm guessing it's 1 corrupted area and the main boss... I'm not finding clear answers on forums.

Thanks!

Commentaire de Spuggs

As of 1/18/2020 Lost Areas DO NOT drop the quest item to complete "Stepping Through the Darkness" to go from rank 5 to rank 6.

Commentaire de shownder83

My math might be wrong but in step 1 it says that if you do the Major Assault (10k), both Minor Assaults (11k), and the mini-vision every day (8k) you'll get 3 Horrific Vision tokens. But if you look at the rewards stated for those events, that only adds up to... 29, 000 Coalescing Visions?

That's still 1000 short of getting a 3rd token. Am I missing something?

Commentaire de Vikoloco

ou do not need to kill Thrall of Alleria, so the punishment for failure is lessened and you can explore more, as long as you complete at least 2 zones per run

Are we 100% sure of this ? can we finish the vision doing just the secondary objectives ? whitout killing thrall/alleria at the end?

Commentaire de Kanegasi

I am extremely amused by the sane replies explaining why goblin glider can't be used being downvoted and the "sky is falling" comments are upvoted. An item can't have two on-use effects. It's as simple as that. As an engineer with 150 bag slots, one more used for goblin gliders for the next 8-10 months isn't going to break the game.

Commentaire de Maenarius

Need to update for buff to daily mini vision to 1,500 from 1,000.

Commentaire de tinythinker

For those confused how to activate the Corrupting Core and use it boost your cloak:

open your character screen and inventory

right click on the Corrupting Core in your inventory

left click the Cloak on your character window

wait a few seconds for a channeling bar to finish

Commentaire de Schattensang

This guide kinda needs a slight rework, as the amount of Coalescing Visions gathered with Dailies has changed drastically. You get 3000 + 1500*6 for the lesser vision each week for 12000 and each Daily gives 250, so with 7 dailies and 7 days you get another 12250 on top of that, giving you overall 35250 Coalescing and another Vessel. So that's 4.5 run per week, which kinda changes things drastically.

Also if you want to get Rank 15 as soon as possible, better get your strategie set soon, because those 15 runs you have to do in two weeks will require a bit of preparation in the form of keeping chests and vessels and coalescing visions from the prior weeks.

Commentaire de Keldion

After the recent improvement to daily quest rewards, it is now possible to earn a minimum of 5.44 Vessels per week.

If you don't have the time, or have no need for the reputation gains, you can easily disregard the non-Vision daily quests and still earn 3.75 Réceptacle de visions horrifiques per week.

Edit: The rewards have been updated. See this Blue post for more details.Edit 2: The Coalescing Visions currency limit is gone! No change to the major assault reward, other than being friendlier to your inventory space.

Commentaire de Tequima

"How to Obtain the Legendary Cloak". Note that for a fresh 120 you first need to unlock Naz'jatar and neck essences, up to and including Cœur de puissance. This will also take your neck up to level 50, include one 385 piece of Benthic azerite armor and give you a 370 iLevel weapon.

Commentaire de ricerd

I am sure most of you reading this post already know the information, but for those players who don't, I just wanted to give a quick update.

First, since the cloak was launched everything has been increased regarding the legendary cloak power with Blizzard continually increasing the caps on all currencies we need for cloak leveling. This includes the ability for players to carry more vessels (used to access horrific visions; 1 used per visit), an unlimited coalescing visions cap, increased currencies from all invasion content including dailies, mini, bi-weekly, and weekly invasions, and most recently the ability to raise corrupted resistance after the cloak has reached max level. Blizzard has even changed the chance of receiving a corrupted piece of loot from the first weekly completion of a horrific vision to 100%.

Also, the best way to stay current with the latest changes in the game is to check out the top of Wowhead's main page in the latest news section on a regular basis. Err....sorry, I sound like someone being compensated for advertising the site, but I assure you guys that I am just a long time player who really appreciates the help I have received from it. The Wowhead website with our wonderful player community has just been extremely helpful to me by saving allot of time and effort with completing in game objectives.

Finally, I would like to give a huge shout out to Squishei for this awesome post. I have referred to it many times. Thanks again.

The goblin glider can't be put on the cape? Oh no! *laughs in demon hunter*

Still, it's just until Shadowlands...It's not the end of engineering!

Commentaire de Fremm

This guide should have the The 8.3 Cloak Quest Line from Patch 8.3 for Alts linked here. The other guide notes where skips are in the cloak questline. I had read through it before, but it took a little digging to find the for-alts version, whereas this guide was super easy to find.

Commentaire de Xecyc

Holy Molly, i will need to farm for 12 weeks straight to get max corruption resistance. That's harsh...

Commentaire de Enathrae

The update regarding the Legendary Cloak upgrade, IS NOT LIVE. I have rank 9 and the quest requires 6 pages. If it is only on NA, then say so. If it is false entirely, fix the post.
